Tight Poker

Yeah I'm still at the $13's. Can't convince myself to move up.

Anyway, interesting hand. Villain seems pretty solid, haven't seen anything crazy yet, kinda tight (~15 or so, pretty low for 6max). How's my line?

Play where you are comfortable. I keep thinking about moving up but then I breakeven for 500+ games and chicken out.

The hand looks real good. The only thing I'm wondering is if we should fire again at the turn. WTF is he calling the flop w/ here?

Brag: I have 100 buyins for the $13's

Beat: I have 100 *%&*^@! buyins for the $13's

Everyone I ask says I need to move up but I'm so goddamn nitty about my roll.

BTW you have the most awesome sigs IMO. :lol:

I would probably play it the same way, expecting to lose most of the time, but winning enough that the pot odds are justified (hence, the point of pot odds).

TT? As8s?

I'd really expect to see an overpair here, A8s is the only hand that even remotely makes sense. As such I think he is trying and failing at representing, so I push river.

Thanks! I think it would be scary if I actually knew everything people said about me. I usually only catch the chat at the end of my session when I have less tables.

As far as moving up, I've always been really nitty as well. 100 buyins is a nice cushon. It's not hard to drop 20+ buyins even if you are playing well. I like the idea of just mixing in a $25 w/ your sets.

If he had an overpair at the flop, I think TT is the most likely one.

His hand for those who are interested:

He has ATs spades.
